Description
It was a bitter cold last night (close to 0F), but so very clear, so I just had to attempt a lunar eclipse sequence and create some sort of aesthetic composite result. Each moon image is a separate frame, aligned in the order and approximate position that they occurred as the moon slid into earth's shadow - proceeding from "full moon" up to totality and then beyond as it slid out of shadow. First stages are recorded in ~15 minute jumps up to totality. Totality was a single longish exposure (~10sec) since moon gets very dim then. And final blurred stage is a ~15 minute long exposure to let the moon slide out of the frame (due to earth rotation).
Captured 1/20/19 with Pentax K-1 and DA*300mm lens - various exposure settings (up to 10 sec with polar tracking on the totality image, and ~15 minute exposure for final image)
